'KILL THE UMPIRE"
OUT OUR WAY

with our (large) plane produc
tion." .
THE Japs have obviously been
SAVING UP their fleet lor
some great emergency purpose.
Time and again they have de
clined battle. THIS may be the
emergency they have been saving
up for. Wlth'iis firmly planted lh
the Marianas, grim , possibilities,
stare them In tho face.
WE have great naval strength
In the Puclfle. In addition,
, Admiral King .(top navy com
mander) speaks In Washington
of arrangements wllli the British
for naval co-operation lh tho Jup
war.
: The British are known to have
considerable naval strength In
tho Asiatic theatre.
OUR commanders are confident.
Nimitz says our fleet "packs
sufficient power to he favorable
to us In a decisive engagement."
King expresses appreciation for
'the long-expected cooperation of
the Japanese navy in apparently
moving Into battle position."
We have land-based planes (to
supplement our carrier planes)
within reach of almost the entire
prospective battle area ; Mac
Arthur's bombers in New Guinea
and other planes that have prob
ably been landed already on the
field wc have taken at Saipun.
' On the other hand, the Japs
have the advantage of being close
to their bases, whereas we are
more than 1,000 miles from our
-nearest base In tho Marshalls.
A GOOD newspaper is in much the same position as an im-
partial umpire attempting to officiate at a crucial game
attended by intensely partisan fans. Regardless of what
the decision may be, one side or the other is certain to sound
off with bronx cheers and start heaving pop bottles.
A good illustration of this fact is an act which oc
curred at Eugene last Sunday when newspaper reporters
were banished from a session of the state convention of a
labor union because some delegates disapproved of the
manner, in which the scribes reported a heated argument
over unseating certain delegates. The union members were
not unanimous in kicking the reporters out of the conven
tion hall, but there were enough demanding an "executive
session" to close the .doors to the press, although the chair
man of the meeting was quoted as stating that the published
account was true and that he could find no objection to it.
The action of the convention is indicative of what many
individuals and organizations expect of the press. They
demand only the most favorable mention.
Many people do not realize that a reliable newspaper, and
the press as a whole, is a mirror which reflects the good
and the bad alike. . We will admit that there are mirrors
and mirrors. You have all seen those mirrors in amuse
ment parks which reflect back your distorted image. Some
mako you appear a roly-poly, humorous character with a
fat tummy and stubby legs. Others reflect back an elon
gated, sinister figure of frightening proportions.
Many people would have a newspaper render only a pleas
ing likeness, just as they expect a photographer to retouch
a negative to hide the blemishes. The true image is not
what they want. But the press, to be true to its responsi
bility to those it serves, must be a mirror as free from fault
and distortion as is humanly possible. A good reporter must
be as impersonal as the typewriter upon which his story is
prepared. He should tell only the facts and conditions as
he sees them, endeavoring to eliminate any semblance of;
personal opinion.
Knowing the integrity of the Eugene newspaper and its
editor, we believe the action taken against the Eugene re-i
porters was entirely unjustified. !
Organized labor seems to be suspicious of the press.
Rabidly partisan, as it must be, it is ever ready with its cry
of "kill the umpire!" But, insofar as our experience is con-i
cerned, few labor leaders attempt to make friends with the
press or to utilize newspaper faciiilies to promote good pub-1
lie relations. I
One of the first acts of a business man moving into a1
community is to got acquainted with the editor of the
newspapor and try to make a good impression. Big busi-j
riess spends millions of dollars annually on public relations. !
Expert press agents are employed to strengthen the posi
tion of manufacturing and business firms with the press.'
But about the only time we see or hear from a labor leader,
either local, district, or national, is when there is some
cuiiipmiiii io rugisier or some service desired. Newspapers,
endeavoring to give their readers all of tho news, are as
open to news items concerning labor's activities as to any
othor news material. (We are not referring to propa
ganda.) But few of the unions, particularly in the sunnier
communities, are endeavoring to use this means of educat
ing tho public to their cause.
Neither labor unions, nor any other organizations, can
create public confidence when they hide their activities
from public gaze. Such action as that taken in Eugene in
banishing reporters from a convention hall does not add to
tho stature of the labor cause.
under way in Finland to form a
NEW cabinet that can make
peace (on some kind of terms)
with Russia.
THE news of the next few days
(jierhaps even hours) will be
watched with acute and anxious
Interest by all of us. IF the Japs
risk their entile fleet in one
mighty battle and IF they lose
disastrously the end of the Jap
war will be far nearer than any
of us have dared to imagine.
That is almost too much to
hope for, but we can't help hop
ing. IN Cherbourg as this is written,
our men are fighting from
house to house toward the docks
that are our goal. The Germans
are fighting back with fanatical
fury, but arc blowing up dock
Installations at the same time.
Tanks arc being used on both
aides. An American staff officer
says we have "stacks" of them.
We've already knocked out 80
German tanks In the Cherbourg
lighting.
THE weather grows viler and
viler still apparently in
league with the Germans. A gale
is still blowing In the channel,
piling up six-foot waves on tho
benches and putting a stop to all
landings.
We NEED the ort of Cher
bourg. The Germans know we
need it. They're determined to
hold iu back from it to the last
possible hour. Hence their fanati
cal fighting.

Tonight wo Just want to pass
on to you a copy of the prayer
Gabriel Hcattcr gave on his
broadcast of June fi-ono of the
loveliest and most moving things
we have heard In years and we
thought porhnpr. you'd like to
have a copy too.
"Merciful God. watch over
tnese men. They march In a cru
sade for humanity and freedom.
These are not men of war. These
arc not men of iiate or von
gi anen. These are humble inon.
Men whose hearts will never for
get pity and mercy. They light
to give all the children of men
peace on earth. They tight to
banish tyranny and fear. Merci
ful God, our homes are empty
our hearts arc torn with this des
perate vigil.
"Into your care we give our
prayers our llves-our sons -all
that we are and can ever hope to
tie on this earth. Send these men
hack to us home to us for thev
hiv part of man's spirit of man's
dream of a world which Is free
ami where kindness lives; watch
over these men we who aro
meek and humble, we whose faith
is strong ask this. Send these men
buck to our hearts and our
homes this Is our Braver."
To w hich we only add "Amen"
and thank you, Mr. Heatter.
